Weekend Edition 45

Umberto Boccioni

States of Mind : The Farewells

You want to go, you want to stay. You are not sure what to do (The yellow structure in the lower left corner). But the attraction of new, of change wins over. You take the dive(the black structure in the lower left middle). Then the stream of journey takes you further and further away, where on one side everything is new and exciting and on the other side things remind you what you have left.

Set Sail

You don't know where you are going. Everything is foggy. But you have hull of steel confidence. Your sails are full of hope. Your engines are curiosity and search for new knowledge. The desire for new adventures lights your way(orange spots). The chances are big that before you get to the adventures, the routine(grey fields) will dissolve you. Or you will too close to the danger and will be burn as a butterfly which got too close to fire.

Franzosisches Dorf, 1918

You travel to a nice small village. Everything seem different, new, even strange : colors of buildings, people's clothes, stone-paved streets. But as the mystery of new place wears off, you are stRting to feel the urge to move on. The purpose of the journey is not the destination, but the process of traveling, exploring the unknown.

This is Sea. It is always moving. It is always changing. In the open sea there is nothing, only water(blue, grey), skies(blue, grey) and the whites of wave crests and sails. There are promises of exotic lands that you are going to see (stains of other colors). But those destinations are not the ends, they are means to motivate you. The journey is the ends. The purpose is to challenge yourself, to see if you are capable to do it.

Untitled ( 1 7 7 9 / Pedestrians )

The things are happening so fast in life, you don't see the details.It's one smooth purple blob. You know there is something else, something important, but you can't catch it. Sometimes you have to stop and to go around the thing in order to grasp what is going on. You go around and you return to the starting point and you observe the whole thing, and then you start to see details and parts and their relations among themselves(red lines and spots). This is what Pedestrians do. They don't just get from point A to point B. They observe, they consume the road, they live the way. The journey is the goal, not the means.
